[Gutenberg 54855] • The New Abelard: A Romance, Volume 1 (of 3)

Excerpt from The New Abelard; A Romance Sake: This Mortal Coll, A I

ON a windy night in the month of May, the full moon was flashing from cloud to cloud, each so small that it began to melt instantaneously beneath' her hurried breath; and, in the fulness of the troubled-light that she was shedding, the bright tongues of the sea were creeping up closer and closer through the creeks of the surrounding land, till they quivered like quicksilver under the walls Of Mossleigh Abbey, standing dark and lonely amongst the Fens.
